Question type: Maintenance & Repair


I bought my RAV 4 on June 19, 2020 with 30 miles
on it. During test drive everything went well. On
June 26, 2020 the car at the stop lights on
dashboard it would say battery charging at that
time the auto start stop working. Call Toyota
Dealership on June 27 Made appointment for
service I had taken a picture of dashboard. Took car
in on Monday June 29 as the problem is
intermittent With it saying battery charging. Battery
tested good They kept the car till July 8 they said it
was connector on battery. I picked the car up on
the July 8 got about 300 feet from service and
battery charging came back on took car back. They
kept the car over night picked the service manager  
called and said the system needed to be reset. The
car has 3,000 miles and today August 20 going to
work it started again battery charging on dashboard
every time I applied the brake took pictures. The
auto stop start doesn’t work battery charging. I am
frustrated

They just changed out battery on the third time said it was a cell in battery was bad. Let skip to March 2021 my car sat for two days battery dead. Now it’s says battery charging all the time now. I don’t trust the car now.

I just noticed the “battery charging” message on my 2020 rav4 yesterday. Taking it to dealer Monday for next service and to figure out what is wrong. I noticed my car will perform the auto off function normally if I do not have my cell plugged in to charge/play music, but gives battery charging message when it’s plugged in. Do you have any advice on what I should ask/demand at the dealer? I believe my car is still under warranty as I just purchased it last May

I have the same issue 2020 rav4. Stop & Start not working and notices `Battery Charging`. It was not run for one day due to winter storm and next day it did not run, battery drained!. I took it to the dealer and they said no problem, they just checked but not did anything. Now It is still noticing `Battery Charging` and it will not be run if I do not drive it one day or shorter.
